About This Track

'Mama' finds Kizz Daniel in devotional mode, constructing an extended love song around the repeated assertion that everything he seeks he finds in one person. The track moves between English and Yoruba, its hook built on a series of simple pledges: cherishing, standing by, honesty, loyalty. There is a playfulness to the declarations, particularly in the admission that he will lie for this person, that softens what might otherwise feel like unguarded sentiment. The production sits in the pocket of Afrobeats, giving the vocals room to breathe across verses that shift between earnest protestation and more elaborate metaphor. Kizz Daniel's delivery remains conversational throughout, never straining for drama, letting the repetition of the central refrain do the emotional work. It is a track that trades in straightforward feeling rather than complexity, and finds its strength in that directness.

"Mama" is a track by Kizz Daniel, from the album New Era , released 5th April 2016. Full lyrics are available below.
